A system and method for product photography includes a movable display configured to travel along a path wherein the movable display provides illumination onto a photographic subject visible to at least one camera configured for long exposure photography where the movable display creates one or more digital light paintings at least partially visible to the camera, and a mechanical means for movement of the movable display. The invention employs a method of capturing a photographic image of an object including the steps of selecting an image for the movable display, using at least one camera to capture long exposure images, positioning one or more photographic subjects, positioning one or more cameras, focusing the one or more cameras, beginning capture of a long exposure, using a movable display to create a digital light painting effect, ending capture of the long exposure, and storing the image in memory.

The invention provides a hoist mechanism for a backdrop as used in the photographic setting. The hoist uses two vertical channels, each having and upper and a lower pull around which a belt is attached. A bracket, secured to the belt, is used to secure a roller of the backdrop thereto. A connecting rod, secured to the lower pullies of the vertical channels, is used to keep the two belts operating in concert. A hand crank, secured to the connecting rod, permits the operator to move the two brackets up/down which moves the a roller having the backdrop in like fashion.

Disclosed embodiments include a selfie camera system for capturing selfie content and sharing captured content on a social media and/or a video streaming platform. In various embodiments, selfie camera makes capturing higher quality selfie content more efficient by providing a preview of the selfie content before and after capture. One or more aspects of previews may be modified to simulate content displayed on a social media and/or video streaming platform. The selfie camera may be easily attached to any surface using one or more mounting mechanisms to allow the selfie camera for function as a personal, private photographer than can capture any scene from a variety of perspectives using a variety of capture sequences.

A special effect screen and a photo booth include a special effect screen assembly. The special effect screen assembly includes a supporting frame and a special effect curtain. The supporting frame supports and unfolds the special effect curtain, so that a top projection of the special effect curtain is curved. The supporting frame includes an adjusting mechanism adjusting an arc of the top projection of the special effect curtain. The supporting frame includes a connecting base, two adjusting frames, first fasteners, and elastic supporting rods. The two adjusting frames are respectively arranged on two sides of the connecting base and are slidably connected to the connecting base. The first fasteners are configured to connect the adjusting frames to the connecting base. The elastic supporting rods pass through the special effect curtain. Two ends of each of the elastic supporting rods are respectively connected to the two adjusting frames.
